It could be the inconsistencies of laptop keyboards. In general, the
character that's printed at the bottom on each key is the one that's
provided when you press the key normally. The character printed on the
top of each key is the one given when you press shift and that key. M->
is end-of-buffer, M-< is beginning-of-buffer. Usually, "<" and ">" are
shifted keys. Usually the corresponding keys unshifted give "," and
".", those give tags-loop-continue and tag-search. It could be that
your keyboard has "<" and ">" as the unshifted keys.
